Penile Prosthesis
A penile prosthesis is a medical device implanted into the penis to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) achieve and maintain an erection. This surgical solution is typically considered when other treatments have been unsuccessful. The prosthesis can be either inflatable or malleable, and it provides a permanent solution for those seeking to restore sexual function and improve quality of life.
Types of Penile Prostheses
1. Inflatable Penile Prosthesis:
o Consists of two cylinders implanted in the penis, a pump in the scrotum, and a reservoir in the abdomen. To achieve an erection, the patient uses the pump to transfer fluid from the reservoir to the cylinders.
2. Malleable Penile Prosthesis:
o Comprises two flexible rods that are implanted into the penis. The rods can be manually adjusted to achieve an erection, offering a simpler option with less mechanical complexity.
Candidates for Penile Prosthesis
Ideal candidates include men who:
• Have severe erectile dysfunction not responsive to other treatments.
• Are in good overall health and can undergo surgery.
• Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
Procedure Details
1. Consultation: Evaluation of erectile dysfunction severity and discussion of prosthesis options.
2. Preparation: Pre-operative assessments and patient instructions.
3. Surgery: Implantation of the prosthesis under general anesthesia.
4. Recovery: Post-operative care and follow-up appointments to ensure proper function and address any concerns.
Post-Procedure Care
• Avoid strenuous activities and sexual intercourse for several weeks.
• Follow prescribed medication and post-operative instructions for optimal recovery.
